10-8-6-15 Workout

Q: I understand the set/rep schemes of 6 sets of 6 or 8 sets of 8, but what is the purpose of the 10-8-6-15 system, and when is it used?

A: The reason for 10-8-6-15 is to break a serious rut that all bodybuilders must deal with from time to time. As you know, Vince discovered early in his training that all muscles must constantly be confused so they don't fall into ruts. If they do, then they will no longer respond. As you stated, "6x6," "8x8," "4x12," "synaps," "no synaps," and compounds were some of Vince's "muscle confusion" techniques. So, this one, 10-8-6-15, is a stroke of genius. Not only does Vince change the rep scheme, he changes the weight as well from 10 reps to 8 reps to 6 reps. As the reps go down, the weight goes up. Finally, there are 15 reps of intense flushing. This routine will definitely break that rut when nothing else will work. I hope this helps.
